with hollow eyes, reaching for the sun.
And if we’re all stories in the end,
then he must have been written to be,
just another goddamn tragedy."

"We are older than our bones,
our souls are comets that bodies cannot hold.
And all the stars we once knew, have already died.
But god, you look at me and it’s okay,
that we can’t remember how to be alive.
With our calloused fingers still gripping the sky,
the heavens burn for you and I."
